Influencers in this space that used to be very quality names have switched from providing education on $XRP to posting negative FUD because it gets more clicks. Anything bullish right now barely gets any attention because of price action and these influencers are feeding off of it. I find it impossible for influencers that have been in this space for years not realizing how $RLUSD can benefit XRP/XRPL. It feels like this bearish approach is more forced and not organic. I am not sure if there is a paid campaign behind this or if these influencers really are that ignorant and stupid. Either way it's unfortunate to see how far some of these names have fallen.

I never would have thought that we would get to this point in the crypto market. What am I talking about? I am talking about the fact that we are watching as DeFi expands on the $XRP ledger for the first time in 14 years. Ripple is becoming a bank at the same time that major banking partnerships just got announced with XRP at the core. We have the largest XRP treasury company moving rapidly to expand the ecosystem, scale institutional adoption of the ledger and acquire more XRP. The DTCC just went live with their $30T tokenization system (part of the $114T total) with public blockchains scheduled for 2027. Wall Street is moving rapidly to tokenize at the same time that banks around the world are actively tokenizing. The US Government is actively positioning dollar denominated stablecoins as the answer to foreign nations dumping US debt. US regulators are all actively promoting digital asset technology i.e. the SEC, CFTC, OCC, not to mention support from the FED & FDIC. All of this is happening, but because the charts aren't pumping it apparently all means nothing and EVERYONE is extremely upset pointing the finger at anyone possible. The sentiment is just abysmal even though everything we have been waiting for is happening in front of us. The next move to the upside will be very painful, because most of retail won't be positioned for it because they are too busy complaining about discounted opportunities. It really is unfortunate.

So we just had the largest crypto exchange hacked and Bitcoin dropped to $76K which is roughly $20K higher than the low in June... History doesn't often repeat, it typically rhymes, but this feels like the bottom of 2022/2023 all over again. Higher, much much higher.

It's 2026 and $XRP holders are still relying on Ripple executives to pump their bags... You invested into XRP & the XRP Ledger... not Ripple. They are not responsible for you clicking buy or sell and neither is any influencer.

Retail investors that are in crypto right now have no idea how lucky and fortunate we are. The financial system of the next 50+ years will be powered by this technology. The same technology we have the opportunity to invest in. Not bullish enough.

I am seeing people asking me about altcoins like $TEL & $HBAR right now because the charts are a bit negative. Realistically we are in the fall time period of 2022, but the difference is the market is already bottomed. At this stage we just accumulate any major drops, because the full view right now is just consolidation/chop.

It's so funny that the anti $XRP crowd is constantly taking shots at the idea of Ripple selling XRP, but then also screaming that $RLUSD replaced XRP. The main reason I find this funny is because Tether reported RECORD revenue in 2025 because of $USDT Ultimately the more success for RLUSD means less and less selling of XRP from Ripple. I didn't even mention all of the Ripple products that also make them a ton of money too. If we are being honest here RLUSD strengthens the XRP war chest that Ripple holds, I do believe they will still provide institutions XRP exposure probably through OTC sales, but this won't affect the spot value anyway. RLUSD is bullish for XRP in multiple ways, but the biggest way is replacing one of Ripple's core revenue streams i.e. selling XRP in prior years. They got rid of the public XRP disclosures in 2025 for a reason, it was at the same time they acquired multiple tech stack companies + RLUSD started growing. I think this is because Ripple NO LONGER needs to depend on XRP sales for significant revenue. So now going forward sales from Ripple will most likely be OTC and it would be strategic in the sense that they want maximum distribution of XRP instead of billions being locked in escrow held by one company.

Want to know something I find absolutely crazy about $XRP? People legitimately don't think anyone is using XRP or there is any demand for the network/asset. I'm going to be honest with you all... if that was true we wouldn't be hovering over $1+ we would be back to baseline, if not worse. That means XRP would be at 0.30-0.50 currently. Demand/network usage starts to stabilize asset value overtime. I think a good example of this is Ethereum or even Solana. So if you see someone say "all this good news but XRP isn't pumping" just know it might not be pumping XRP, but it is definitely reinforcing value stability during the market's worst seasons.
